lyrics

i can see you shifting in your seat
i didn’t used to be so serious
but listen
lots of us don’t make it here
lots of us don’t make it home
dead kids in their bedrooms
dead people in the street
killed by—
murdered by—
i can feel you getting bored of me
i didn’t used to make you uncomfortable
please listen:
if you walk through a cemetery
you’ll pass people buried under gravestones of strangers
i have friends still hiding while you throw a parade

jael: does growing old hurt? does it hurt to grow old?
papa: physically, yes. mentally, you have to put up with it. you see all the pills i take?
jael: yea.
papa: supposedly they’re keeping me alive, but you reach a point where they’re not effective anymore and you accept it.
